Zahara was the headquarters of an ancient Sicilian fief of citrus, olive and almond trees on the border between the Monti Iblei and the Piana di Catania. Of a larger general project that includes the remodeling and re-functionalization of all the buildings and the closest external spaces, the sequence of interventions carried out has been concentrated on the main building.

Zahara is a geological pudding coated with the grain of the Etna colors, the red of the Ghiara and the black of the Azolo. A two-storey building with a tower on top of the roof was built with the material obtained from the excavations, necessary to level the rock and obtain the horizontal plan for the building.

Zahara is the container of micro-cameras and fragments. From the original configuration, a linear sequence of communicating spaces, have been obtained, through small demolitions and carvings, three independent rooms with bathroom, two service spaces and a vertical connection system with the room inside the tower. The distribution is organized by means of two minimal devices that overlook the main living room together with the kitchen and the living room.

Zahara is the fold in the handkerchief. A minimal gray birch wood veneer is divided into slices and scales, to reconfigure, in some nodes and with the insertion of other elements, the interior doors and a new system of fixed furniture, from the entrance to the bedrooms through the salon and the distribution spaces. These slabs accompany and intertwine with the lines of movement,sometimes overlapping the colors of the rooms, obtained by sampling the traces of color found, with enriched tones and embellished with new pigments. The white openings in the color of the interior volumes tie the openings together and extend the size of the space towards new cross-section scraps of rural landscape.
